However, I do have some doubts about the money-making plan that Su Luo mentioned.
Shen Laosan watched his last few taels of silver being taken away, then turned around and Su Luo walked towards the two villagers and stuffed the silver into their hands.
He sighed with great sorrow and could only comfort himself by thinking of it as charity.
…
"You actually gave me money?!"
"Besides, the new village chief gave us money before we even did the work!"
The two villagers were stunned, looking at Su Luo as if they were looking at something impossible.
Amidst the excitement, there was also a touch of emotion.
Su Luo said: "Two uncles, you are here to help me with my work. Since you trust me, I will not let you down."
"I will pay you today's wages first, thirty cents per person. Don't think it's too little, you will get more in the future."
The currency system of the Great Xia Dynasty is slightly different from that of the ancient Suluo Dynasty. One tael of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver, which is equal to one hundred coins.
The purchasing power of one penny is equivalent to two or three Chinese yuan in Su Luo's previous life.
Thirty cents a day is not considered a high salary in Linshui County, but in Xiaoyun Village, it is an income that is unimaginable for the villagers.
Not to mention, Su Luo also promised to provide meals.
The two villagers looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

"To be honest, everyone in our village is very poor and can't even have a full meal a day. If they knew that you, the village chief, are so generous, they would definitely come to help."
Su Luo smiled and nodded: "Of course, I welcome everyone."
Ye Hu and others collected more than 40 taels of silver. It may not seem like much, but there were only about ten villagers in the village who could help.
So, this money is more than enough.
Su Luo also took out five taels of silver and asked Ye Hu to help buy some food from the surrounding areas and cook it for the villagers who came to help.
Ye Hu looked at Su Luo's generosity, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching:
“This is all my money!”
